Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam comes to its grizzly and depressing conclusion! Yes, it’s well known now that creator Yoshiyuki Tomino fell into depression during the course of Zeta, leading to the extremely dark ending to the series, and … yep, it is that, but is it still enjoyable, in a sick, “realistic war scenario” kind of way? Let’s find out!
My review of “Part 2” of the Dragon Ball Super UK blu-ray release is now up on Anime UK News and can be read HERE.
In case you’re wondering, my next Super streaming review will be at the end of March, coinciding with the end of Super (for now?), as I thought it would make the most sense, especially given a lot of the last episodes will be very samey.
Zeta Gundam begins its march towards the series’ end as it introduces a third faction into the mix with the remnants of Zeon joining the fight between the Titans and the AUEG… as if my “Cast of Characters” section wasn’t full enough! Let’s take a look at this collection of smaller arcs leading up to the big finale, shall we?
20 episodes into Zeta Gundam and we finally see the Zeta Gundam! Also: lots of fighting on and around the moon, plus some political manouvering and backstabbing for good measure! Let’s take a look!
My review of the second volume of the Dragon Ball Super manga is now up on Anime UK News and can be read HERE. Quite a few differences between the two Super projects, as it turns out!
In a shorter batch of episodes (as it was so well contained as a stand alone story arc, I couldn’t resist) but a significant one. We not only get to see Amuro Ray return to piloting suits, but we also get our first mentally unstable Cyber-Newtype, a trope that will appear endlessly throughout all future Gundam shows… Let’s take a look!
My sort-of-in-order watch through of Universal Century era Gundam continues, sadly skipping the OVAs (as I may as well wait for a possible blu-ray release…) and heading straight for Zeta Gundam. I haven’t watched the show in nearly 10 years, but I still haven’t forgot never really liking Kamille, and it seems for good reason! Let’s take a look at the opening chunk of 13 episodes, shall we?
After a less traditional Top 10 with the Top 10 Doctor Who stories (and a more traditional one with my Top 10 Games of 2017 list on the game review blog), I… surrendered and did a more regular Top 10 of 2017 (as in anything that aired between January and December, it didn’t have to have started airing this year). Also of note is that I’m NOT doing a top 10 Films of 2017 because I simply haven’t seen that many. In fact in terms of released in 2017 I don’t know if I’d be able to make a Top 5 let alone 10… and most of those would just be MCU films… So without further triple dots, let’s have a look at my personal Top 10 TV series / seasons of 2017!
My review of the two Cooler movies (a.k.a. Dragon Ball Z Movies 5 and 6!) is now up on Anime UK News, and can be viewed HERE. It’s nice watching these old films on Blu-Ray!
My latest review of the Dragon Ball Super TV series is now up on Anime UK News, and can be viewed by clicking HERE. Covering seven episodes this time, the “Tournament of Power” continues to effect universes across the… er, multi-verse, I guess?
